It's running on an Ultra 10, Solaris 2.7 (or maybe 8, I'm not sure at the moment). The entire message was (after the usual time-stamp, host id, process id stuff) "ERROR: Unable to open rules file: local.rules" In answer to Aaron M: It doesn't seem to complain about any of the other rules and it doesn't crash everytime.

At this point I have to rename the local.rules file and make a new copy (mv local.rules local; cp local local.rules). Any ideas?Hmm.. sounds strange. Which platform is that? Could you quote the whole error message too (so we could see what errno's been set). thanks -F-- __ _ _ Network Analyst / ) // ' ) / Computing & Information Services / __|/ o ____ / / / . .
